Make today better, watch now! Day Three, New Year Reset 2026

Good morning! I had a lovely afternoon catching up with my Bestie, Erika, yesterday (more on that later in this post!). But first up, our tiny task for today’s 2026 Reset! We are spending a few minutes making things better. Remember, you don’t need to plan, write anything down, or do it perfectly – just do a little bit with me right here, right now. No equipment or (over) thinking required!

I wasn’t always organised, and when I felt overwhelmed the biggest thing that helped me was someone telling me exactly what to do. I didn’t have to think. That’s what we’re doing here in January – one tiny task a day for a better life in 2026 with simple daily prompts from me!

Two women posing for a selfie in a lush indoor garden, with palm trees in the background. The woman on the left is wearing a blue knitted top, while the woman on the right is in a cream-coloured sweater. Both are smiling at the camera.

And in hygge news, I met my Bestie, Erika, after work yesterday for a long overdue catch up. We used another one of our Copenhagen Christmas calendar coupons which was free entry to Glyptoteket!

Three ancient busts displayed in a museum, depicting male figures with distinct facial features and hairstyles, on dark pedestals against a green wall.

A beautiful museum, right across the road from Tivoli Gardens. The indoor courtyard is stunning – real wow factor!

A white sculpture of a seated woman surrounded by small figures, placed in a circular water feature with plants around it, situated in a bright courtyard.

After touring the various collections (French impressionists, Egyptian mummies and Roman busts), we stopped for a long chinwag at the cafe. Fabulous cakes and coffees at very reasonable (for Denmark) prices! We both opted for the lemon tart – delicious.

A table setting featuring a large cup of latte art, a citrus drink with a straw, and a plated dessert with a meringue topping. Lush greenery is visible in the background.

It was a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours when Copenhagen was dark, gloomy and cold before we both headed home on the train. Erika took the regional train and I took the S-train.

A snowy train station scene at dusk, featuring a cyclist carrying a bike up the stairs, with commuters walking below and a large arched roof structure in the background.

But don’t forget today’s tiny task. Just go and do it. Rah, rah, rah! And meet me back here at the kitchen table tomorrow for the next step of our 2026 Reset!

Hugs

Loving these daily prompts Diane! They are perfect ❤️ I’m going to do the utility room sink, been leaving it for the person who made the mess but I’m resigned to the fact that that isn’t going to happen 😂. Glyptoket day looking fab with lovely Erika, say hi from me, Kelly x

Thank you for this! I cleaned our small bathroom floor. It is a place where I do all the flowerpot cleaning and other messy stuff and it is a nightmare to clean. It has those oldfashioned small tiles that are far apart so there is a lot of tile seams (not sure if that is the right word)and uneven surface to clean. The floor is less that 2 square meters but an arduous job to do! And quess what the soundtrack in my head was? Ooo-oo-oo, I’m on fire! LOL!

Hahaha…The mirror splattered with toothpaste all over it in the main family bathroom?! I’ve been avoiding it knowing that it’s falling on me to clean as none of the other 4 people in this family seem to mind it all over the mirror and I’ve just been using the ensuite this week?!…I’ll go deal with it right now and feel better for it for sure! 😀 Thanks Diane! You’re so beautiful with your encouragement for us folks that need sunshine in our lives?!

Hi. I did a tidy off my wardrobe as it has been bugging me when I go to get dressed. I haven’t done it as I was waiting to do a full audit and clean!! Instead I’ve just made it feel better and fresher by just doing a quick sort. Thanks Diane!

I knew exactly what to clean, one of those jobs that I can see every day and ignore as it’s not high priority. I cleaned the outside of 2 kitchen drawers and the 2 cupboard draws below on one side of my kitchen. Because they are low down, I don’t notice them so much, but now they are clean, I will see my good work every time I go in the kitchen. Planning to do the other kitchen doors as well later today or in the week. Brilliant , thank you Diane
